Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2187354A1] The method involves defining a line by a sequence of two-dimensional support points and line width. Each rectangle (1, 2) connecting two support points is represented with a rectangle length and rectangle breadth. The rectangle length is specified by distance between the support points, and the rectangle breadth is specified by the line width. An angle is provided between two successive rectangles, and a triangle sequence (6) covering a gap (5) between the rectangles is represented. The triangle sequence consists of a set of triangles whose support points have a common vertex.
